If the version is not specified, the system uses the most recent version by default.

eTag -> (string)

The ETag of the Amazon S3 object that represents the bundled artifacts for the application revision.

If the ETag is not specified as an input parameter, ETag validation of the object is skipped.

gitHubLocation -> (structure)

Information about the location of application artifacts stored in GitHub.

repository -> (string)

The GitHub account and repository pair that stores a reference to the commit that represents the bundled artifacts for the application revision.

Specified as account/repository.

commitId -> (string)

The SHA1 commit ID of the GitHub commit that represents the bundled artifacts for the application revision.

string -> (structure)

Information about the location of an Lambda deployment revision stored as a RawString.

content -> (string)

The YAML-formatted or JSON-formatted revision string. It includes information about which Lambda function to update and optional Lambda functions that validate deployment lifecycle events.

Shorthand Syntax:

revisionType=string,s3Location={bucket=string,key=string,bundleType=string,version=string,eTag=string},gitHubLocation={repository=string,commitId=string},string={content=string,sha256=string},appSpecContent={content=string,sha256=string}

JSON Syntax:

{
  "revisionType": "S3"|"GitHub"|"String"|"AppSpecContent",
  "s3Location": {
    "bucket": "string",
    "key": "string",
    "bundleType": "tar"|"tgz"|"zip"|"YAML"|"JSON",
    "version": "string",
    "eTag": "string"
  },
  "gitHubLocation": {
    "repository": "string",
    "commitId": "string"
  },
  "string": {
    "content": "string",
    "sha256": "string"
  },
  "appSpecContent": {
    "content": "string",
    "sha256": "string"
  }
}

--deployment-config-name (string)

The name of a deployment configuration associated with the IAM user or Amazon Web Services account.

If not specified, the value configured in the deployment group is used as the default. If the deployment group does not have a deployment configuration associated with it, CodeDeployDefault .``OneAtATime`` is used by default.

--description (string)

A comment about the deployment.

--ignore-application-stop-failures | --no-ignore-application-stop-failures (boolean)

If true, then if an ApplicationStop , BeforeBlockTraffic , or AfterBlockTraffic deployment lifecycle event to an instance fails, then the deployment continues to the next deployment lifecycle event. For example, if ApplicationStop fails, the deployment continues with DownloadBundle . If BeforeBlockTraffic fails, the deployment continues with BlockTraffic . If AfterBlockTraffic fails, the deployment continues with ApplicationStop .

If false or not specified, then if a lifecycle event fails during a deployment to an instance, that deployment fails. If deployment to that instance is part of an overall deployment and the number of healthy hosts is not less than the minimum number of healthy hosts, then a deployment to the next instance is attempted.

During a deployment, the CodeDeploy agent runs the scripts specified for ApplicationStop , BeforeBlockTraffic , and AfterBlockTraffic in the AppSpec file from the previous successful deployment. (All other scripts are run from the AppSpec file in the current deployment.) If one of these scripts contains an error and does not run successfully, the deployment can fail.

If the cause of the failure is a script from the last successful deployment that will never run successfully, create a new deployment and use ignoreApplicationStopFailures to specify that the ApplicationStop , BeforeBlockTraffic , and AfterBlockTraffic failures should be ignored.

--target-instances (structure)

Indicates whether to deploy to all instances or only to instances that are not running the latest application revision.

--file-exists-behavior (string)

Information about how CodeDeploy handles files that already exist in a deployment target location but weren’t part of the previous successful deployment.

The fileExistsBehavior parameter takes any of the following values:

DISALLOW: The deployment fails. This is also the default behavior if no option is specified.

RETAIN: The version of the file already on the instance is kept and used as part of the new deployment.

Possible values:

DISALLOW

OVERWRITE

RETAIN

--override-alarm-configuration (structure)

Allows you to specify information about alarms associated with a deployment. The alarm configuration that you specify here will override the alarm configuration at the deployment group level. Consider overriding the alarm configuration if you have set up alarms at the deployment group level that are causing deployment failures. In this case, you would call CreateDeployment to create a new deployment that uses a previous application revision that is known to work, and set its alarm configuration to turn off alarm polling. Turning off alarm polling ensures that the new deployment proceeds without being blocked by the alarm that was generated by the previous, failed, deployment.

Note

If you specify an overrideAlarmConfiguration , you need the UpdateDeploymentGroup IAM permission when calling CreateDeployment .

enabled -> (boolean)

Indicates whether the alarm configuration is enabled.

ignorePollAlarmFailure -> (boolean)

Indicates whether a deployment should continue if information about the current state of alarms cannot be retrieved from Amazon CloudWatch. The default value is false.

true : The deployment proceeds even if alarm status information can’t be retrieved from Amazon CloudWatch.

false : The deployment stops if alarm status information can’t be retrieved from Amazon CloudWatch.

alarms -> (list)

A list of alarms configured for the deployment or deployment group. A maximum of 10 alarms can be added.

(structure)

Information about an alarm.

name -> (string)

The name of the alarm. Maximum length is 255 characters. Each alarm name can be used only once in a list of alarms.

Shorthand Syntax:

enabled=boolean,ignorePollAlarmFailure=boolean,alarms=[{name=string},{name=string}]

JSON Syntax:

{
  "enabled": true|false,
  "ignorePollAlarmFailure": true|false,
  "alarms": [
    {
      "name": "string"
    }
    ...
  ]
}

The Amazon S3 bucket name.

key -> (string)

The Amazon S3 object key name.

bundleType -> (string)

The format of the bundle stored in Amazon S3.

  "bundleType": "tar"|"tgz"|"zip",
  "eTag": "string",
  "version": "string"
}

--github-location (structure) Information about the location of the application revision in GitHub. You must specify the repository and commit ID that references the application revision. For the repository, use the format GitHub-account/repository-name or GitHub-org/repository-name. For the commit ID, use the SHA1 Git commit reference.repository -> (string)

The GitHub account or organization and repository. Specify as GitHub-account/repository or GitHub-org/repository.

commitId -> (string)

}

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.

Global Options¶

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command’s default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

json
text
table
yaml
yaml-stream

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--profile (string)

Use a specific profile from your credential file.

--region (string)

The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.

--version (string)

Display the version of this tool.

--color (string)

Turn on/off color output.

on
off
auto

--no-sign-request (boolean)

Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-binary-format (string)

The formatting style to be used for binary blobs. The default format is base64. The base64 format expects binary blobs to be provided as a base64 encoded string. The raw-in-base64-out format preserves compatibility with AWS CLI V1 behavior and binary values must be passed literally. When providing contents from a file that map to a binary blob fileb:// will always be treated as binary and use the file contents directly regardless of the cli-binary-format setting. When using file:// the file contents will need to properly formatted for the configured cli-binary-format.

base64
raw-in-base64-out

--no-cli-pager (boolean)

Disable cli pager for output.

--cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

--no-cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Disable automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

Examples¶

Note

To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.

Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal’s quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .

Example 1: To create a CodeDeploy deployment using the EC2/On-premises compute platform

The following create-deployment example creates a deployment and associates it with the user’s AWS account.

aws deploy create-deployment \
    --application-name WordPress_App \
    --deployment-config-name CodeDeployDefault.OneAtATime \
    --deployment-group-name WordPress_DG \
    --description "My demo deployment" \
    --s3-location bucket=CodeDeployDemoBucket,bundleType=zip,eTag=dd56cfdEXAMPLE8e768f9d77fEXAMPLE,key=WordPressApp.zip

Output:

{
    "deploymentId": "d-A1B2C3111"
}

Example 2: To create a CodeDeploy deployment using the Amazon ECS compute platform

The following create-deployment example uses the following two files to deploy an Amazon ECS service.

Contents of create-deployment.json file:

{
    "applicationName": "ecs-deployment",
    "deploymentGroupName": "ecs-deployment-dg",
    "revision": {
        "revisionType": "S3",
        "s3Location": {
            "bucket": "ecs-deployment-bucket",
            "key": "appspec.yaml",
            "bundleType": "YAML"
        }
    }
}

That file, in turn, retrieves the following file appspec.yaml from an S3 bucket called ecs-deployment-bucket.

version: 0.0
Resources:
  - TargetService:
      Type: AWS::ECS::Service
      Properties:
        TaskDefinition: "arn:aws:ecs:region:123456789012:task-definition/ecs-task-def:2"
        LoadBalancerInfo:
          ContainerName: "sample-app"
          ContainerPort: 80
        PlatformVersion: "LATEST"

Command:

aws deploy create-deployment \
    --cli-input-json file://create-deployment.json \
    --region us-east-1

Output:

{
    "deploymentId": "d-1234ABCDE"
}

For more information, see CreateDeployment in the AWS CodeDeploy API Reference.
